NBNK Investments plc
("NBNK" or "the Company")
Audited results for the period ending 31 December 2015
NBNK Investments plc (AIM: NBNK) announces its audited results
for the period ending 31 December 2015.
The following is an extract from the Company's financial
statements which will be posted to shareholders on or around 18 May
2016.
Chairman's review
We have continued to maintain the Company at low cost while
appropriate opportunities have been sought to make an acquisition
in accordance with the Company's investment policy. During the
fourth quarter of 2015, we were in continuing discussions with
certain businesses that we felt might make suitable acquisition
targets. As a result, on 7 January 2016 we informed shareholders
that the board had resolved to extend until 11 April 2016 the point
at which the directors would consider if it was appropriate to
return unused funds to shareholders and/or to wind up the Company.
On that date, we confirmed that the further negotiations with
potential targets had not produced an acquisition proposition
capable of being recommended to shareholders for approval. As a
consequence, the directors resolved that it was appropriate to
return unused funds to shareholders and/or to wind up the Company.
Detailed consideration has begun into the most cost effective and
timely way to achieve this.
Consequently, the annual report and financial statements for the
period to 31 December 2015 have been prepared on a wind-up
basis.
On behalf of the board, I would like to thank shareholders for
their support. Some shareholders have been with the Company since
inception, others joined more recently, but all have been very
supportive of the mission that NBNK set out to achieve. The board
and I are disappointed that we were unable to deliver an
acquisition that would have fulfilled the Company's investing
policy and given value to shareholders.

Chairman
Business review
The Company was incorporated on 2 July 2010 as De Facto 9999
Plc. On 2 August 2010, it changed its name to NBNK Investments plc.
The directors of the Company are:
Stephen L. Johnson;
Lord Brennan of Bibury, QC.
The Company's objective has been to try and make a significant
acquisition in the European financial services sector. It raised a
significant sum from shareholders for this purpose and the
directors were engaged throughout 2015 in seeking acquisition
opportunities to meet its objective. The reported remit was that,
if this objective was not met by 11 January 2016, then the
directors would consider whether it was appropriate to return
unused funds to shareholders. Although a brief extension to that
timetable was agreed and announced by the directors, discussions
with remaining potential acquisition targets did not progress
satisfactorily and accordingly, on 11 April 2016, the Company
announced that, there being no reasonable prospect for a successful
acquisition, in line with the Company's investing policy the
directors had resolved to return unused funds to shareholders.
A further announcement on the manner in which this will be
achieved will be made in due course.
